My doctor recommended it for me. When pregnant women get the flu it can be a lot worse for them. It can lead to respiratory disease,  death,  and preterm labor. Im getting.mine tomorrow and have been assured its healthy for both you and baby.

My doctor made me get the flu and tetanus shot. My insurance covers basically everything but my goodness I was prepared ahaha. It should be fine, just ask.

I recently went to an appointment this week & also asked the same question to my doctor & he told me that he wouldn't recommend it cause the Flu Shot Contains some what of the Flu in it & even thou your body can fight it off , your Baby still hasent develop all his or her organs so its not 100% that your baby will fight it like you can .. when you give birth you willget it & most Likely if you take good care of yourself you won't get that sick :) ♡
